Five important things a man must learn in life !!!



Top 5 is tricky. I will try to keep them to things that tend to be a particular challenge to men.
  1. Do not accept that girls or women have less aptitude or that men are designed to conquer the world. You may have a daughter one day that could conquer the world. That could be your daughter being minimised and patronised. Wouldn’t you want her to be accepted for her potential rather than according to the baggage of the society we live in?
  2. People are less interested in you than you think. They are just as obsessed about themselves as you are about yourself. So stop thinking they are all thinking about you, your performance, how witty you are, etc. How self-involved are you? Get out of yourself and start taking an interest in others. They will be glad to be noticed, and you will learn (if you bother to listen)
  3. Health is for life, not just for bagging a partner. Get fit for you and how you feel, and for the respect of your own body, and the interest may well just come naturally anyway.
  4. Children are people, not little pieces of clay for you to mould into objects that fulfil all the dreams you didn’t get around to. They are not just like you. They are their own people, and you are there to have the privilege of watching them grow into their potential, with a little nudge here and there to help them overcome their stumbles and self-doubts.
  5. Being strong is also knowing when to be vulnerable and give access to your weak spots. Allowing yourself to be hurt rather than just retreating to the man-cave. This level of trust requires an immense inner strength, and honest introspection. Do not shy away from it. Like muscle fibres being shredded and rebuilt stronger and more robust than before, in that weakness is the seed of your future strength.
And remember: You are not just a man…You are a person, too.

Alert: Naira Gains A Massive 5% Against the Dollar

The exchange rate rebounded on Friday to close at N308 at the official interbank market. The local currency gained about 5.2% reversing the N325 it closed with on Thursday. According to reports, the gains was mostly due to a sale of forex by the Central Bank of Nigeria providing enough liquidity to meet the demand currently in the market. The naira has closed at an all time low of N364 to the dollar on Thursday following a surge in demand. The central bank has been selling dollars almost daily to boost liquidity and support the naira.

SEC to end issuance of e-dividend warrant by June 2017

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has directed all registrars operating in the Nigerian capital market to end the issuance of e-dividend warrant to investors by June 31, 2017. This, according to the commission, will compel retail investors to embrace the exercise and stem the rising unclaimed dividend in the capital market, which is currently put at N80 billion. E-dividend is an electronic dividend payment which will enable an investor’s account to be credited after 24 hours that dividend is paid. The Director General of SEC, Mounir Gwarzo, while addressing journalists during the post Capital Market Committee (CMC), second quarter press briefing, held in Lagos yesterday, bemoaned the low level of patronage on e dividend registration in the market, noting that only 6,000 investors have accessed the platform. To encourage more participation in the exercise, the SEC boss explained that the CMC has agreed that all banks should...

How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share  I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man. If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me. If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes. If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off. I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator! Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of a...
